Chasewater Railway Museum – A further addition to our model collection

A further addition to our model collection
The latest addition to the Chasewater Railway Museum collection of Hornby ’0’ gauge is a slightly careworn and minus one buffer Pratts motor spirit tank wagon in green livery, representing the Anglo American Oil Company brand.
Reference to the New Cavendish publication in the Hornby Companion series shows that this particular example could only have been produced during the period 1923-1929, which means that it is the oldest ‘0’gauge Hornby wagon in the collection.
It came at the reasonable purchase price of £13.50
Chasewater Railway Museum – Accreditation 2016
Chasewater Railway Museum
Accreditation 2016
The Chasewater Railway Museum has maintained its status, first achieved in 2011, as a fully Accredited Museum, as awarded by Arts Council England.
The award of Full Accreditation is valid for approximately three years, at which point the museum will be invited to provide a return to demonstrate continuing compliance with the Accreditation Standard.
Thanks and congratulations to all who have helped maintain this standard during the past few years, and the museum looks forward to this support continuing in the future.
Our thanks also to our visitors – our efforts would be rather pointless without you.

Recently donated to the museum by Alan Sherry was a collection of cine-films and colour slides. We have had one of the films copied onto DVD by Final Cut Video Editing and Photos, based in Burntwood. This film was taken in the mid-1960s depicts trains, boats and planes in and around the Isle of Man.
We could do with a cheap or preferably free 8mm projector (any make) in order to check the films before spending further money on copying what may turn out to be film of the family holiday variety.

Chasewater Railway Museum – our latest item
Chasewater Railway Museum
Our latest item
Thanks to Rob Cadman, who spotted the item on ebay, we were able to obtain, at a reasonable price, a small wagon repair plate somewhat unusually produced in a lead material, and CRC (Cannock & Rugeley Colliery) in origin, when they replaced an ex Midland Railway wagon – number 74545 6-1943. Size, approximately 6″x 4″ . Very likely this was a 12 ton coal wagon but this is not yet verified.
Many of these old Midland Railway wagons were withdrawn in the 1920s and 30s and replaced by the LMS.
